B- Connection to the acoustic cabinet. This connection must be done with, at least, 3mm
cable ( we recommend 6mm). The amplifier output and the acoustic cabinet input connectors are 4
pin SPEAK ON (see diagram 6.2). The mid-treble cabinet will be connected as follows:
The bass reinforcement cabinet only uses pin 1+ and pin 1-.
3.5. Interconnecting two or more systems
With one single EPC200 base unit you may interconnect up to 20 EPC6000C systems
(complementary unit without processor). You just have to use the Stack outputs found on any
SPM amplifier. These Stack outputs should be connected to identical amplifiers. IMPORTANT:
The ANTICLIP modules of the successively interconnected amplifiers must be adjusted with
identical settings as the amplifiers which are directly connected to the EPC200.
Another option is to use complete EPC6000 systems configured as master or slaves,
depending on the functional requirements. For that purpose we have designed the EPP LINT and
EPC AINT multicore, which let you interconnect several EPC units, configuring them as master
or slave. The master system will inhibit all the system associated processors (diagram 6.2)
4. OPERATION AND USE
4.1. Start up
To start the EPC200 push the switch labelled POWER (6) and the green pilot-light inside
the switch will shine. Although the noise produced when starting up the EPC200 is minimum, we
highly recommend to start the audio chain following the sequence: sound sources, mixer,
equalizers, EPC200 and power amplifiers. Stop the chain inversely, in order to avoid possible
damage to the loudspeakers.
4.2. Indicators and adjustments
SIGNAL PRESENT INDICATOR (1-2). Two green LEDs on the front panel show the
presence of a signal at the inputs of the EPC200.
OVERLOAD INDICATOR (3-4-5). Three LEDs show the saturation of any output (L-bass,
M-mid, H-treble). The indicators are common to both input channels (L&R). The LEDs will shine
whenever an excessive signal level is sent to the amplifier inputs.
